A shooting ARRAY occurred at
Lexington last week between Col,
Thos. Nj. Green, of Maysville, and
Lew Baldwin, of Nicholasyille,
which resulted in the death of Bald
win and the wounding of Green,
The trouble originated last August
from an article which appeared III
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
written by Green, in regard to the
poll books which were stolen from
Jessamine county. Baldwin and
other prominent men were indicat-
ed for the theft and Green's commu-
nication criticised them severely,
Baldwin replied in an offensive com
munication to the Commercial da-
zette, and upon meeting Green in
Lexington he attacked him, with
the above result, Baldwin was
shot through the heart and Green
received wound in the side,
Mr.. Green was for many years
the editor Of the Naysvilie Eagle,
which suspended about year ago.
He has since been the regular Ken
lucky correspondent Of the Com,
